I think it doesn't help, honestly. Was Jerry Dias put there repping the auto unions?

I am not big on the union sending delegates around the world......but I do understand the thinking behind it. Fighting for workers rights across the globe indeed doesn't DIRECTLY impact our working conditions, but in the grand scheme of things, the more pro union that you can make the world, the more support you will have for workers rights everywhere...

I think more than anything, "Antifa" is a mostly made up idea that right wing lunatics use to blame for their own fear, misdeeds and violence..... eg. the US insurrection. But what do I know. I don't even use facebook.

Worked for me. Tested positive 8 days in a row. And how would you know if you're getting false negatives?

I was specially told not to retest because it would come back positive however infectious is only up to 10 days from first symptoms.

We're you told different and that's why you're still testing?

First place I checked. They only show which depots have shop stewards, and not the locations.

Staffers usually have a call list to give to terms, I'd start there. What areas are you looking at?

Somewhere in the customer tools etc has a list :) I just can’t remember how to navigate there as the site is a cluster F. No wonder customers complain so much . It’s definitely not made by a web developer.

I'm probably moving to either the West End, Yaletown , or False Creek areas. I may go to Capilano because I know people there but I want to look at all the factors ie. types of routes, commute/parking, start times, seniority, OT availablity, if they separate OR/VR etc. Depot locations would be my first step before investigating.

I'm not sure if it's what you were referring to , but you reminded me of the NM precision targeter site. It has what I'm looking for.
You'd think we'd have access to header boards across the country but this is the workaround to get an idea of the routes in each depot.

Yes precision targeter should work although I am not sure it gives addresses of the depot?

It does. You just have to click on the notepad icon and it's at the top of the summary. It's been a long time since I paid attention to Vancouver. There used to be more depots but I guess a lot of them merged. It's basically just 1&2, F, G, and South Van now.

I assume all of Van is PT by now, right?

I have lots of tests so was experimenting. Including trying different types. Day one was super faint, almost imperceptible. Then they got brighter. And day 8 was very faint. I didn't start testing positive until a week after symptoms started, and only after I started feeling better, and symptoms came on a week after what my likely exposure was. Took almost 3 weeks from exposure to negative test.

There are still some footwalks in LCD1. Good luck getting one tho!
Cap has the hardest routes of the bunch and if you don't live on the right side of the bridge have fun on that commute! Parking can be a pain but not the worst.
South Van has some nice routes and I remember being able to park right in the lot at the depot!
LCD 1/2 have decent routes, some good supervisors and some excellent breweries in the neighborhood.
